<Greg> By cautioning the
user, I was imagining that the dialog box with a check box to
override the default behavior could have static text cautioning
the user, OR the user agent could prompt the user for
confirmation when they try to turn on the overriding.

<jeanne> muted as the global
level the user agent should not override this unless the
behavior is optional, not enabled by default, and the user is
cautioned as to its implications. (e.g. the alarm clock
application on a mobile device has an option to play the alarm
even if the system is muted, provided the check box is normally
unchecked and is accompanied by text cautioning the user about

<Greg> 3.5.1 Highlighted
items: The user has the option to highlight the following
classes of information so that each is uniquely
distinguished:

<Greg> * (a) selection,

<Greg> * (b) content
focus,

<Greg> * (c) recognized
enabled elements, and

<Greg> * (d) recently visited
links.

<Greg> The highlighting
options (with the same configurable range as the operating
environment's conventional selection utilities) include at
least (Level A):

<Greg> * (a) foreground
colors,

<Greg> * (b) background
colors, and

<Greg> * (c) outline (with
configurable color and width).

<Greg> The changes from the
current wording are (a) combining 3.5.2 into 3.5.1, and (b)
changing the "input focus" attribute to "outline".

<Greg> The email also
included a version which did NOT combine 3.5.2 into 3.5.1,
instead revising 3.5.2 to refer explicitly to 3.5.1, as:

<Greg> 3.5.2 Highlighting
